Hi
I have a excel file where i am trying to create a dropdown list.
I know how to do this. Data validation list and select range.
And make sure in-cell dropdown is selected.

But for some reason my project file does not show dropdown lists....

If i create a new excel file, i can create the list.
But in my project file i can not get the dropdown list to show up.

What can be wrong?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Can't you get it on any cell or on a specific one only?

Note: hidden column right to it or hidden row below it sometimes "hide" the arrow.

Found the error.
It was a setting under file>options>advanced>"for objects, show:" and that was set to nothing.... dont know why. but when putting on "all" it now works.
